Sweet Iris

A very special email landed in our inbox a few days ago. This is one of the most touching emails we've gotten from a customer. It is stories like this that reminds us why we do what we do."Almost 10 yrs ago my father passed away. My mother could not take care of herself. My husband and I sold
our house and added onto hers, since she didn't want to move. I tried
everything to get her involved to no avail. One afternoon during the planning
process, she came to me and handed me a Home Depot advertisement showing the stained glass Iris
door. We made a few cutbacks (no
hardwood flooring upstairs) so that we could get this door and its matching
sidelights. The construction was completed before the door even came in. I
must say – it was ALL worth it. This is door is the most beautiful door I have
ever seen – better than doors on multi-million dollar homes. It also has lasted
through 4 kids & their multitude of friends constantly streaming in and
out. EVERYONE comments on it – even a decade later. So now that the upstairs carpet needs replacing and
I groan at the cost of 950 sq feet of black oak laminate – I still smile at my
Feather River door.Thanks for making such a
spectacularly beautiful, quality product."- BrandyA lot of times, an object isn't just an object. It holds stories and meaning for people. We were touched that our Sweet Iris door was able to bring smiles. Thank you, Brandy, for sharing this special and personal story.

We receive great questions from our customers. We'll share those we think may help other customers who have similar questions.

Q: My husband and I recently
purchased a ready-to-paint fiberglass door and were wondering about the painting options - before deciding to purchase a
new door we had picked up some ultra premium exterior latex paint for our old
door. Do we have to get an oil based exterior paint for our new door? Or will
the exterior paint we had previously selected be appropriate? A: The latex paint should work fine, but our door has the best adhesion
performance with oil based paints, so we recommend oil based paint. Please visit our resources page for exterior door installation instructions for guidance.
